Hey Digit, What brand 7 round mag is reliable & function in the Core15 you sold me on Trademe?

AR value in order for the sub 1700 category. We've had all these either for sale or in for repairs/upgrades at some stage.
1) Core15 $1499. Milspec Bolt, 4150CMV Barrel (preferred over 4140), low profile gas block, magpul forend, forward assist, dust cover.
2) DPMS Oracle $1699. Has railed gas block, 4140 barrel. Gas block needs to be replaced if you want to free float the barrel (most common upgrade after trigger)
3) S&W $1695. No forward Assist, No Dust Cover. Front sight post - a common upgrade is to also remove this for free float barrel. Old models had 5R rifling I think. NZ ones dont.
4) Gun City thing. $1499 and up. Plastic Lower. Poor machining. Apparently accurate though. Front Sight Post.

As far as Im aware of the Spear Mags are the only 7 rounders available in NZ.

Spear 7 round mags work brilliant in DPMS and other ARs.

Tactical Imports has Lancer 7 rounders, I would get them over the Spears, but he is asking $75 each.

My AR came with a different 7 round plastic mag that isn't the same as current Spear mags. I think brought three spears but they don't hold the bolt open when the mag is empty so not that impressed.

Does someone have a link to the tactical imports \ lancer ones? $75 isn't that much more...

What the world really needs is a metal 7 round mag so you can seat your pills further out. That or sensible gun laws that let me own normal magazines....
